The protests, which took place as Blinken was testifying on Capitol Hill, underscored the deep divisions and heated emotions surrounding U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East, particularly its support for Israel. The protesters, some with hands stained red to symbolize blood, made their accusations loudly, disrupting the proceedings and drawing attention to their… Citeste mai mult

Franța susține mandatele de arestare emise de ICC pentru liderii Israelului și Hamasului.
France, Belgium and Slovenia released statements supporting the world’s top war crimes court and its chief prosecutor’s request for arrest warrants for leaders of Israel and Hamas, after Israel and the United States both harshly condemned the effort.
The International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and three Hamas leaders — Yahya Sinwar, Mohammed Deif and Ismail Haniyeh — of war crimes and crimes against humanity in the Gaza Strip and Israel. While Netanyahu and Gallant do not face imminent arrest, the announcement Monday was a symbolic blow that deepened Israel’s isolation over the war in Gaza.

Rusia preia Nigerul la ieșirea SUA
Russian military personnel have entered an air base in Niger that is hosting U.S. troops, a senior U.S. defense official told Reuters, a move that follows a decision by Niger's junta to expel U.S. forces.
The military officers ruling the West African nation have told the U.S. to withdraw its nearly 1,000 military personnel from the country, which until a coup last year had been a key partner for Washington's fight against insurgents who have killed thousands of people and displaced millions more.

“Creating an iron dome against missiles and drones is necessary,” he said on Monday.

Sancțiunile SUA au jucat un rol în moartea președintelui iranian.
Much of Iran’s air fleet is in dire need of spare parts that Tehran has been unable to buy due to US and other western sanctions.
“Iran’s air fleet is a metaphor for the regime as a whole,” said Ali Ansari, founder of the Institute of Iranian Studies at the University of St Andrews. “It’s old, should not be able to keep flying, and yet does — until it doesn’t.”
Tehran has yet to give an official explanation for the crash.
The likely culprit is an aging fleet, battered by decades of wear and tear. Blocked for years by western sanctions on Ira… Citeste mai mult

SUA îndeamnă Europa să se alăture represiunii exporturilor din China
Janet Yellen has urged the EU to join US efforts in clamping down on Beijing’s green-tech exports, warning that a glut of cheap Chinese goods could threaten the survival of factories across the world.
The US and its western allies must react “in a united way” to China’s growing manufacturing power or put their own industries at risk, the Treasury secretary said in a speech in Germany on Tuesday.
Yellen also rejected criticism from European allies that the US’s own sweeping tax breaks and subsidies for green manufacturing represented “a turn towards American protectionism”.
She said the tariff increases, which included a quadrupling of the rate on Chinese electric vehicles to 100 per cent, were “strategic and targeted steps”.

Since 2017, the US has promoted India as one of its key partners. It even went so far as to rename an entire region “the Indo-Pacific,” eyeing New Delhi as a key strategic asset in its longstanding strategic ambition of containing the rise of China.
